I really like that old racer you got pete . Good luck with Id parts . Will look thew a few old mags to see if I can help you out .

It does look like a works shock. 88TurboCoupe has the same shock on his Tiger. His is a Works shock.

That box is most likely a voltage regulator just like you have on your other R's Anything with lights on it should have that so you don't blow the bulb.

I don't know what the pipe is. Nice bike though. It needs a DG head to add some bling to the motor.

that pipe is a beast.

Found this ad . The pipe looks close . Hope this helps

I had bought a dual headklight set up for a 85 250r and it came with the same box, so I would go with regulator, maybe it had a bigger light setup in the past. Nice old school bike, good luck

[KASEY]

i do believe that box is a rectifier .. for making dc power . maybe to charge a battery

[Shawn72]

Tthat is a Works shock on there. And I'm pretty sure that is an old DG drag pipe. Looks like the one I've seen in magazines. Let me know if you want to sell that shock and swinger.

Thanks guys and thanks shortline for having a look in old DW's i thought it might be a Tri-Tech but looks slightly different ....and isn't that one in the ad for a oddy??? could be a moded oddy pipe?? don't think its a DG they always badged up there pipes....
Yep your right Kasey its a rectifier i found a ad in a old 3 wheeling mag for the same box....

Thats a VERY long shock on the rear of that thing. It looks like a no link, I bet that rear suspension has a Ton of travel. What are the round thing's on the top of the shock?? Maybe something to help cool It?? I thought for a minute It was a triple rate spring setup.

Yeh your right Jason no link and the shock in long!!!! and yep its not another spring but like you said it looks like cooling fins??? maybe not a works shock????

I've seen those shocks before but cant remember who made them . I have a similar one in the shop and it was made by FOX .

[fabiodriven]

I'm almost positive that's a works shock. It looks just like mine.

Thanks Kasey

The pipe is a DG....and if I may say so, a desirable find since this style wasn't made very long.

The aftermarket and/or custom rectifier may have been installed due to a re-wound/high output lighting coil.


Extremely cool machine!

[ailll1]

the ugly "grab bar" at the back look like a 250es front carrier bolted there lol

[NINJA]

Very cool old trike for sure. Is that a Dico swingarm?

The pipe almost looks like the old Hooker style made for the old CR 125 and 250, but they come out the bottom, I had a oddy with a DG kit years ago that had a DG pipe that looked like that, and I had an intake that looked like that it had HS stamped on it and it had a boost bottle port, dont know who HS is tho? I would say it had a hight output BAJA light at one point and i has a rewond lightig coil in it thats what the bo it for? Very sweet bike for sue..

H&S was very popular back in the day Helm & Son .

yes you are right .. its the first Gen. shock, the rezzie should have cooling fins also.. I sold one to 350xinNy and they updated it with the new guts,,Internally they had alum on alum..NOT good.. contact Works They can update those shocks for you.
